    Range Report .308 SMK 168 gr at 2820 + fps.... ???

    What brand chrono do you have? Magnetospeed seem to be very accurate as is Oehler 35p. I have heard others complain about the cheaper chronos such as the shooting chrony and such. Maybe your getting generally high readings. How long of a barrel are you running also? That load is fairly common to...

    What can cause inconsistent velocities?

    Great extensive research and explanation of process....I don't have the pressure indicated press but I'm sure by measuring with quality tools I am getting relatively consistent neck tension. As I said previous, I keep it within half a thou and seems to work great when I hit the magic charge...

    Alpha mags......how long?

    Awesome info! I'm disputing that charge tomorrow for sure and I'm going to pick up a couple realistic mags tonight. I wonder if the 3rd mag will fit 4 of the 308 cartridges in??

    Alpha mags......how long?

    Ok cool! Thanks for the info! I was just now researching those, last question I haven't found specific answer; will it work with my ptg M5 bottom metal? It appears these fit same application as AICS mags?

    Alpha mags......how long?

    I haven't played to much with the short action mags so I wasn't for sure the 300wsm would work for .308. You have and inside OAL for those mags? I need to be able to run around 2.950. And I'm thinking your talking AICS mags to buy?

    Alpha mags......how long?

    So an update to my post......still nothing yet. Going on 2 weeks. Talked to Chris and like everyone says, "oh it should be there tomorrow or the next day".Those days came and went.....

    168gr amax or 178gr amax for 308 sav 10fcp

    The 208s should fit in your mag but I'm betting your savage is like some others I've loaded for, short chambered. If that's the case, you wouldn't get near enough powder in the case to make the 208 really fly. Check your chamber first....

    What can cause inconsistent velocities?

    With a dial caliper, using the id caliper side. After sizing I will check this and make sure the case mouth id is .305. My variation allowable to me is +.0005- so basically it can be .3045 to .305. If it's looser than that I'll try to run thru the neck die again. If not it goes in the annealing...

    Primer pocket uniforming

    It's my OCD Graham...anyhow, it takes the same work whether I just clean them with brush or unform

    What can cause inconsistent velocities?

    As I said before...you have to check a lot of things. A lot of contributors to aberrant velocity. I run an FX 120i scale, neck size and check case mouths after for neck tension consistency, uniform pockets, and check seating depth to the ogive on every round and when you find the load that...

    Primer pocket uniforming

    I also uniform pockets and mine do seat a touch deeper too. No problems with fed 210m but I had several duds using rem9 1/2. So I threw those in the bonfire and use cci200 or fed 210m exclusively

    What can cause inconsistent velocities?

    Do you neck size or FL size and what dies? Inconsistent shoulders, varying powder charge from shabby scale, inconsistent neck tension, check to be sure you have minimal bullet runout on seating depth.....lots of things could affect pressure/ essentially velocity

    Question re: 185 Berger Juggernaut

    I was a touch off on my info, sorry. I went back to my note and pics to confirm. 47.6gr 2000mr. My group also at 200yd with that chrono reading. 5 shots and I pulled the low flier....

    Question re: 185 Berger Juggernaut

    Driving nails at 200yds with 47.6 gr PP2000mr and .090 off the lands. Last time out tried .070-.110 off lands and shot better with long jump vs close to lands. ES of 9 and SD 4. 2740avg out of 26" 12tw krieger

    Stiller Actions?

    You could do like I did....buy a stiller and send it to Pierce to be built

    Alpha mags......how long?

    Has anyone heard from Chris here lately or ordered mags in the past say...couple weeks? My first time ordering one; I ordered it a week ago and paid with PP. Never got an invoice or shipping notification. Just wondering if that's normal and how long they take to ship? I called today and left a...

    Reloading .308 with a Lee classic loader without a powder scale

    Your consistence will be poor....get a scale, for safety and accuracy. With supplies the way they are on the market, I wouldn't waste time or supplies if I were to know I wasn't going to get the most accuracy from what I have. I'm getting ready to post mine for sale on here if you were going to...

    .308 155 gr vs .308 175 gr at 1k yards

    I know lowlight was playing with these(185 jugs) as well and he was loading them at 2.88 and then was gonna go shorter...I'm sure it would be worth a try on top of either RL17 or 2000mr. I load mine off ogive but do believe the OAL is 2.90 for a .090 jump
